The newer pesticides are designed to work as effectively as possible. Due to their effectiveness, a limited amount is required to be applied to the soil. The FDA approved organic pesticides aren’t as effective. This requires additional applications and more being applied each time (vs the newer non-approved pesticides). More pesticides being applied means more runoff and possibility of contamination to streams and ground water. The soil can also be over saturated and be damaged by the increased concentration.
Tbh, I used to pronounce it ‘JIF’ (because in my native language, ‘gi’ is always a soft ‘g’, and I usually speak that), but now that I think about it in English, a hard G makes more sense.
In Romanian I also pronounce gigabytes as jigabytes :)
Unironically, this is actually my favorite take on the moon landing conspiracy. The technology to fake the footage and photos we got simply didn’t exist at the time.
